Meh...I read that just before I peeled the warning label off my Puig light smoke racing screen. It's a lawyer's warning...Puig probably uses the same law firm as Ruger. ;)
I think there's as much chance of that happening as my eyeballs melting from the magnification of my glasses in direct sunlight.

Aren't hot dogs pre-cooked? So really all you'd have to do is warm them up, which you can do by holding them behind you while you're riding so the exhausts can do the work. That way you can heat as you go, and then as soon as you stop you can eat!

Yea, almost all windscreens, even stock, can cause this effect. Just watch where you park. If you feel uncomfortable about it, just carry a rag around with you and throw it over your gauges. I dont think I have ever heard of somebody with an FZ6 melting their gauges though.

The wording of that is painful. I had similar warnings in a Guinness light/sign that I got for christmas.
